SOMMELIER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Here we are on the Holy-Land .. next to the church and cloister where Dom Perignon spent most of his time.

We also posed with Terry, Monsieur Sommelier Extraordinaire on site at DP, who has a dictionary mind on all vintages, statistics and war stories. We learned about P1 ie masceration were 10 years P2 12-15 years and P3 north of 15 years. All Greek to a peasant like me but man, do they taste different. I am sure it has something to do with the fact that we were breathing and absorbing the Champagne air, against the back drop of a blue sky that is simply impossible to beat, and lastly, it was the group's first outing of our 14 days adventure together.
